Your First Visit

We’re thrilled that you’re considering our dental practice. Your first visit allows us to get to know you and your needs.

We’ll take time to explain our procedures and answer your questions. We’ll perform a comprehensive exam to evaluate the condition of your teeth, your gums, and your bite, and also take X-rays and photographs of your teeth.

We set aside time at this visit to go over anything that may need to be addressed, show you treatment options, and form a plan if needed. When treatment needs arise, we make sure you know what the priorities are so that you can plan and tackle things at a pace that is comfortable for you.

You may have anxiety about visiting the dentist because of past experiences or a fear of pain. Don’t worry — we’re here to help you relax and feel comfortable during your visit. We’ll treat you respectfully and ensure you understand all aspects of your treatment plan before proceeding with any dental work.

Preparing for your first appointment

We look forward to meeting you and will make your first visit an easy, seamless, and stress-free process.

To make things easy on the day of your appointment, you can fill out your health history and new patient information forms online. We will send you a link to complete this after we have scheduled your visit.
If you have dental insurance, gather your information and bring it with you. Our team will take care of determining what benefits you have and how to maximize them.

No insurance? Not to worry! The process is the same with us since we are an independent practice and not driven by insurance companies. We have lots of cash payers and do offer a cash payer discount to help offset some of the costs of care.
